I have PBS to thank for my love of US history. It all began with Ken Burns’ series on the Civil War and a two-part American Experience series on FDR. Since then, I’ve also eaten up Presidential and other biographies by many of the commentators on those shows from HW Brands to Doris Kearns Goodwin. I learned one very important thing, that the freedom and equality we enjoy in this country was not a reality the day that Jefferson said all men were created equal, with unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And neither did it happen when Lincoln proclaimed the slaves free during the Civil War.
